Battle Train News

As we come to the end of 2024, we here at Terrible Posture just want to reach out and offer best wishes to our whole community. You guys are truly the gift that keeps on giving, and we wouldn’t be here, making games, if it wasn’t for you.

We hope you have a warm and festive holiday season, and that the New Year brings you plenty of joy and excitement.

And trains, of course.

The TPG Crew.

For those of us in the US, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. While every year has its ups and downs, here are some of the things we here at Terrible Posture are grateful for:

• Our Kickstarter was backed at 213%. That’s not too shabby, and we’re grateful to everyone who believed in the game enough to support us there.
  
• Battle Train was also included in several top demo lists that came out during Steam Next Fest. In a field that had over 3,000 demos to try we’re grateful to have stood out among the crowd.
  
• We’re grateful for the continued feedback from players who really seem to love the game. Your enthusiasm is awesome, and we appreciate it so much.
  

If you haven’t played the SUPER DEMO yet, it’s still available here on Steam! If you give it a try, let us know what you think.

For everyone waiting on the full game, the release date is still expected to be in early 2025, so stay tuned!

Thank you all for being a part of the Terrible Posture Community.
The TPG Dev Team

Battle Train is part of the Turn Based Carnival going on right now here on Steam. One of the other games you'll find there is Mori Carta, which is a unique take on a deck-based card game.

From the Dev:
Mori Carta is the first "Handless" deckbuilding roguelike. Each of over 1000 cards represents a dynamic decision. Learning how to build and play 5 archetypes against over 185 uniquely challenging enemies will brutally test your skills. Join powerful companions into your strategy after first aiding them in their poetic and epic journeys.

Try our free discoverably deep demo on Steam!

When I tried it out, I was honestly intrigued by how the encounters work. Your own deck contains cards that represent the situation you're dealing with and the skills you bring to bear, and each card has an option to be played to the left or right, with different energy costs and different impacts based on where you play the card. For instance, for an ability card, you could play it to the left to expend some energy and deal damage, or you can play it to the right and gain energy while upgrading the card, so that when the card gets shuffled back into your deck it will be more powerful. Each encounter becomes a puzzle on how best to manage the deck you have, choosing which cards to expend energy for, which cards to upgrade, and where you can afford to accept the negative consequences for a card.

Fans of table top card games will find the mechanic easy to grasp and fun to play. If you give it a try, let us know what you think!

Did you know Terrible Posture Games has a new project about dueling with exploding trains?

We've teamed up with Nerd Ninjas to bring you BATTLE TRAIN.

Lay your tracks out to the enemy base, wrestle control of resources from the enemy, build your train into the ultimate demolition machine, and then launch pure destruction upon your foe!

But don't just take our word for it.
We're excited to be participating in Steam ːtogcakeːNext Fest, and we have a new SUPER demo out now! It's too big to be called a regular demo and you can give it a try (and wishlist the game) right HERE! We'd love to know what you think!

That's not all though; we're -also- running our first Kickstarter for the game, fundraising to push an already great game to new levels and build all sorts of wacky ideas we really want to stretch for; cat trains, electric maniac champions, terrible poetry.. we need your help to get all these final extra awesome details into the game.

We love Battle Train, and Kickstarter seems to agree; they just awarded us with an official "Projects We Love" badge! We're humbled and thrilled. We're in our final week of fund raising for the project--so now is the time to act!
